@Riot, Your Lore Retcon Isn't Working...You Haven't Even Managed To Complete It Yet! Just Undo It!

After Many, Many Months... The lore retcon is still happening. Riot still hasn't gotten their ducks in a row and figured out how they want to proceed with things, and the lore is still a mess.

Runeterra is still in a state where it can't exist! Lore can't happen in Runeterra until this retcon is resolved, and despite starting the whole thing, Riot seems to lack the resolve and resources to make sense of the lore a timely manner....heck even if they fixed things now it would be pretty late.

Riot, this Retcon failed. Get out while you can. Undo the retcon and go back to focusing on creating good lore like you did before!

Agreed.

Please Riot, don't abandon innovation. Don't tear out the league.

Please let your game have lore, instead of a side-universe.

So far you've only claimed to be doing a retcon, you still haven't gone there.

Meaning...

It's not to late to abandon ship and swim back to the huge continent of stuff that we want to continue hearing more of. (mostly because that metaphorical ship is still in dry-dock).

Hey Impetual,

Many members of the community, like yourself, are upset about the retcon going on with lore. It was never Riot's intention to upset players, as storytellers, their goal is ultimately to be able to tell more stories, and create a universe that both makes sense, and is interesting. Riot has admitted that there have been some bumps in the road, parts of their plan ultimately fell out of place. But ultimately, I believe that when the smoke finally clears, the story of Runeterra will be one that everyone can enjoy, and be fascinated by. It's a bumpy road to get to the ideal point, but the best thing you can do is hold on tight, and wait for our arrival to The Promise Lore (TM).

((Disclaimer: I do not work at Riot, and The Promise Lore isn't actually trademarked. Yet.))

idk why you even care so much... I didnt even see a post where they statet that the league was removed out of the lore all i saw was that skarner got rewritten into a douchbag monster that guards some chamber. The only time i cared about the judgement was on lee sin because he used to be a summoner thats all. And now that the judgement and the league seems just un attended i cant help but feel pity for guys that actually care about moba lore. Take dota 2 for example... No character there makes any sense... It never did because they where based on warcraft 3 models and skillsets. so i dont know maybe write lore of your own or move on.
